As evidenced by this thread lots of people confuse partition

Yes I did Andy.
In your earlier reply you said you actually meant filesystem label,
and that your query was answered with e2label (which works with
filesystem labels on ext* filesystems).
So no, when you previously said "partition label" you actually meant
"filesystem lanel".
I assume you meant "label", Andy ;o)
Which leads to a question:
I used gparted to apply the labels.
And I could only apply then if the partition was not mounted.
So what is the proper definition of such a label that gparted applies?
filesystem or partition?
Its seems to point (to me anyway) as two different methods, and
therefore is in different locations in the medium. If so, how is the
difference determined?
Inquiring minds and all that nonsense... ;o)>
Thanks,
Andy
